Comparison of sleep quality in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Sleep quality is a key component of quality of life. In dialysis patients, it can be significantly affected by physical and emotional stress. Many dialysis patients experience sleep disturbances. This study aimed to evaluate sleep quality in dialysis patients and compare it between those undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD). Methodology: This observational, cross-sectional study compared sleep quality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients based on dialysis modality. Data were collected from adult patients undergoing chronic PD or HD for at least one year in the Nephrology Department of our hospital between December 26, 2024 to January 15, 2025. The study included 74 ESRD patients: 51 on HD and 23 on PD. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI); a score ≥5 indicated poor sleep quality. Results: Poor sleep quality was observed in 56% of participants, consistent with previous research. No significant differences were found between HD and PD groups in overall sleep quality. Subjective sleep quality, sleep duration, efficiency, disturbances and use of sleep medication were similar in both groups. However, HD patients had significantly higher sleep latency and daytime dysfunction. Most patients with poor sleep quality were in the HD group. Conclusion: While dialysis modality did not significantly affect overall sleep quality, HD patients experienced more issues with sleep latency and daytime dysfunction. These findings underscore the need to address sleep disturbances in dialysis care.
